Since Roman times, trees have been decorated with lights to honor the gods of the harvest and light. Northern Europeans later adapted these rituals to fancy,[sic] new Eastern religions.

A Christmas tree is a decorative object from The Sims: Livin' Large. It can be used to summon Santa Claus. In order to do so, a Christmas tree needs to be placed near a fireplace and a plate of cookies. If all Sims are asleep, Santa will appear around 3 AM and leave a present for the family.

The Christmas Tree can be downloaded as a part the More Holiday Presents free set from The Sims 3 Store. It is only used as a floor light with high environment score, but Sims won't do anything about it.
